A fiasco free day...that's what I will be praying for when I go to bed tonight.
This afternoon, I got in my car at 5:00 to drive to Frisco to teach my 5:30 class. As I backed out of the driveway, I noticed my tire was leaving black marks on the cement (due to a mishap last year, I learned the hard way that this means I have a flat tire). I stopped, got out of the car and sure enough, the front passenger tire was flat as a pancake!
I alternated from trying to fill the tire with "fix a flat", to trying to fill the tire with an air compressor, to trying to call for a ride to class. I finally got it aired up enough to drive up to the corner and finish filling it up at Tom Thumb (though that itself wasn't free from fiasco, but that would just drag out this story even longer!).
I made it to class 10 minutes late but all of my students were still there waiting on me (that is truly a miracle)! I taught class and when it was over at 6:45, my tire was still full, so I went to a the only tire place still open. My intent was to get the tire repaired so that I wouldn't have to worry about it at 6:30 in the morning when I head back to Frisco for class. Of course, they said I needed new front tires, etc, etc., but they could look at fixing it but I would have to wait over 2 hours. I opted to have them fill up the tire with more air and take a gamble. So lets all hope that there is air in there in the morning and I can make it until after class to get it repaired!
I stopped at Walmart to get a new air compressor because I killed the other one this afternoon. Hopefully I won't need it, but I do know that I will be praying for air in the tire and just one day in my life that is free from some form of fiasco!!!!!!
